The Minnesota Timberwolves are not in full-on tank mode just yet, but despite a short two-game winning streak heading into the All-Star break, things could still go either way.
After losing back-to- back games to tanking teams, the Timberwolves defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in a dominant fashion on Monday night and the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Notably, Andrew Wiggins didn’t appear in either game due to illness.
The team looked better on both sides of the ball, and Jeff Teague had one of his best two-game stretches this season dropping double-doubles of 19 points and 10 assists on Monday and 27 points and 12 assists on Wednesday.
